Senior Sonia Perez Arau's 13th place in the 400 individual medley Friday night, in 4:10.17, at the NCAA Championships was the first time an FIU swimmer scored points at the NCAA meet.

The previous highest placing by an FIU swimmer was 18th by 200 breaststroke school record holder Sara Giavannoni in 2007.

SPRING FOOTBALL

FIU decided to open the doors to those willing to skip Saturday morning cartoons (they still have those on some channel, right?) for spring football. The practices Mar. 22 and Apr. 5, which start at 10 a.m., will be open to the public just like the previous practices essentially were to students who had classes at La Cage.

Swinning in her strongest event, senior Sonia Perez Arau made Friday night's final in the 400 individual medley. Perez's 4:10.27 brought her home 16th in the preliminaries, getting into Friday night's B group.

Junior Johanna Gustafsdottir finished 48th with a 54.82 in the 100 backstroke. Like Perez, Gustafsdottir has Saturday's 200 backstroke remaining.
